The best restaurants serving Irish food in Northern Ireland

First time visit for us but daughter and husband had been here before and thought we would like it, and we did. It’s a small venue so would assume that booking a table would be essential. The restaurant does small plates of food as well as a few larger choices. We went for the small plates and had about 5/6 between the four of us. Great variety of tastes amongst the dishes which included a whole plaice, chicken skewers, green beans (so good we had an extra portion) smashed and fried new potatoes. It’s a little noisy but a good atmosphere, our waitress was friendly and chatty and knowledgeable. They apparently have a steak night once a week which we might do on the next visit to NI.

This hotel provided us with the worst service experience during our entire 15-day stay in Northern Ireland and Ireland, which included stays in multiple hotels and dining at various restaurants. The service we received was disrespectful and careless. We placed a simple order at their restaurant - a hamburger and fish & chips - but they forgot to relay the order to the kitchen. After waiting for one hour and ten minutes, we were informed that it would take another 15 minutes to receive our food. The waitress and manager explained that the kitchen was too busy, despite the fact that there were very few occupied tables. They did not seem to care about our dissatisfaction and did not even offer an apology. They didn't care about my hungry 11-year old child. Their attitude seemed to be, "we are too busy right now, that's just the way it is - wait another 15 minutes." In all my travels around the world, I have never been treated like this in a hotel. If they do not welcome guests from other countries, they should simply put up a sign stating that only UK residents are allowed on the premises. I will never return to this hotel and do not recommend it to anyone.

Tuve un buen almuerzo de domingo aquí. Lamentablemente fuimos los únicos comensales en 1. 00 pm, que estropeó el ambiente, entraron algunos comensales más cuando nos íbamos después de las 2. Para empezar, tuve el parfait de hígado de pollo que era realmente bueno y mi amigo tenía la ensalada de queso de cabra. Para los platos principales tuve rape y mejillones que estaba delicioso y mi amiga tenía el pavo y el jamón, que dijo que también era bueno. Las porciones son grandes con muchas órdenes de acompañamiento que teníamos puré en los platos y lados de los asados, pudín de Yorkshire, zanahoria y chirivía y brócoli con queso. Una buena factura de comida con una jarra de naranja fue de 40 por 2

Called in to place an order to take away. Sat for 40 minutes waiting during which time i watched the girl at the till swinging her ponytail over food, scratching her scalp and nose with her oversized long nail extensions, and then proceed to butter scones without washing her hands or wear gloves. Wiped her hands on her jeans and carried on. Came and told me then after 40 min, that my order hadnt gone through to the kitchen, and when i said to forget it and asked for a refund, she was very rude. Accused me of being rude because i said i hadn't time to wait and said it wasn't her fault i hadn't received my order. Then didn't know how to issue a card refund, and kept me waiting a further 15 minutes while she disappeared into the back of the shop. Awful experience from someone not capable of dealing with customer issues, she was totally unsupported by the manager who stayed in the back. Food handling hygiene needs looked at. Really disappointed as I've used this lovely café before, but on this occasion the service and hygiene was not good at all.

Not undercooked but raw sausages avoid. Wasn’t changed but not the point had already eaten one. Will never be back just shouldn’t happen in this day and age

i only started going here after I read an advert which led me to try some of their products. I certainly have not been dissapointed and will keep retiurning while the quality is maintained.

Absolutely love this place. The new chilli hot dogs are my new favourite as well as the milkshakes

La comida es deliciosa y el personal es muy agradable, hay muchas tiendas alrededor, buenos asientos y un inodoro con sillas altas para niños.

We chose Duad to its reputation, menu , association with the Monad team and its on our doorstep. It’s a fun quirky space with its vinyl DJ and off the wall decor . On a purely personal , probably out of date old fogey that I am , I prefer to book online or through a website which made booking tricky as I don’t have instagram. On arrival , the menu was a sort of pop -up from sister establishment Jumon which was enjoyable , but I wouldn’t return for more veggie food. I was really looking forward to the regular menu. The food was really good although the pad Thai was more a chefs interpretation and not totally authentic . A couple of service errors was serving our 2 dishes a good 5 minutes apart and having 2 gin and tonics with flat tonic taken from an already open large bottle ( small tinned /bottled mixers are what you expect nowadays ). However it was nice to receive complimentary replacements free of charge . Next stop Monad methinks .

I have eaten here a few times and found it not too bad. It is clean and friendly staff. I like the beef cutlet and I think it is the spice burger also. Last time I ordered a chicken fillet burger with little salad and chilli mayo. The youth took the order did not pass on details or the girl who produced it ignored it. Now the chicken was fine and large but the slap of salad, cheese and I am not think coleslaw and onion made it into a soggy mess. I eat the chicken but hard to discard the rest. One big problem there is no bjn and I had to walk to nearby filling station to find a bin. I am giving four because of cleanliness, friendly staff and fair price of a fiver. I will go back to support it.

Great local pub has all that U need good beer good characters and good food. Had the scampi.

Unfortunately our experience was not a good one. My inlaws had booked a meal for mine and my husbands 40th Birthday. The booking was made weeks in advance, when we arrived it was clear they hadn't a table reserved for us and we were seated 'out the back' in the function hall, which was cold, uninviting, clearly being redecorated and had 4 ladies doing a dance class. Our orders were taken quite quickly but we didn't recieve our meals until 50minutes after this! Even thought people arrived after us and recieved their food before us. We were asked if we would like to move up into main bar area as a table had become free,which we did. The young girl serving the drinks basically threw them on the table, to the point were drinks split. When our food eventually arrived it wasn't even hot, just warm. My annoyance is more for my elderly,retired inlaws who were treating us to this dinner and were so upset and disappointed with food quality and service. I will definitely not be booking here again for any future family meals nor will I be recommending!!

Wow, what a perfect breakfast. Great fry up, and my partner had bacon poached egg and toast. All cooked to perfection, with noticeably fresh and good quality ingredients. Soda and potato bread were top notch. Mmmm.
